While former President Donald Trump loves and enjoys fighting with the media and his critics, his spouse is not one to take part in wild interviews and avoids creating debates and controversies on social media.
Her speeches are subdued and often written for her targeted audience — passionate Republicans. The former first lady rarely appears in public, and when she does, it is because she deems it a hugely worthy cause.
Recently, Melania Trump made a surprising appearance at a mega fundraiser for her spouse at Mar-a-Lago.
According to a new piece published in The Times, close sources to Melania Trump revealed that her every public move and decision is dictated by the hurt and major betrayal she endured during her time in the White House.
An insider told The Times: “When you look back, Melania was betrayed by her staff.”
The mother of one was exposed by multiple former members of the Trump administration, who penned bestselling tell-all books and took part in bombshell interviews.
Some of these staff members still use Twitter to routinely leak embarrassing information about her days in Washington, DC. Via Yahoo and She Knows, it was revealed that Melania Trump’s “hurt” feelings make her uncomfortable and they now dictate her public life.
A person in the know stated: “Nowadays she is less in view except under very controlled circumstances. She has dinner at Mar-a-Lago but doesn’t mingle and hobnob with people like he does. It’s a safe zone for him. She doesn’t view it as a safe zone.”
The source went on to say: “Melania doesn’t feel like the political world rolled out the welcome mat for her as they did with other former first ladies. She tried but was attacked — everything, her shoes, her hair. The microscope is so intense. The sunglasses she wears all the time are her shield.”
Both Melania Trump and Donald Trump have spoken out about the fact that Vogue has refused to have her on its covers — an honor that has been bestowed on Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Jill Biden.
It is rare for Melania Trump to be invited to high-profile political or charitable events that gather all the living first ladies. This shows the event was of great significance to Trump.
Some observers say that the former model will get more involved later this year if the polls keep showing her husband within striking distance from returning to the White House.
